Renter of district 5 and member of the senior and disability actions housing collaborative. There is so much stuff from displacement and high rents before the pandemic. And now, illness and income loss and inability to pay rent due to the virus. Thousands of seniors, people with disabilities, other low income folks, and families of color are most vulnerable to the homes.

Excess mortality in europe this year is 33 higher than the United States. Evidence that the tragic costs of this virus is higher in other western nations. South korea, youve been reading about south korea doing well. They just had a very big break

Because they cannot be done virtual. That will be part of the guidance. And its such a big piece of the other thing and that the other thing that gets lost in inperson classes is there are classes that will not be taught in the fall semester or potentially the Spring Semester that have a negative impact on Mental Health in San Francisco. A lot of our seniors take classes at City College Even with the unfortunate class cuts in physical education in, for example, pottery and ceramics that you cannot teach online. You cannot take a ceramics class online, but we cannot teach it safely inperson either currently. The work we are doing is critical for us to do this work back in the spring. And hopefully teach the important classes that have a direct Mental Health impact and positive impact on a lot o
